DAVE P, post #44 of this thread was quite interesting in my eyes. I am not sure PQ and SUNSATION are entry level, especially the bigger ones.

Thanks for the compliment Bryan. :D

Sure am looking forward to seeing that bigger Sunsation.....in the HRPA ;)

And size does matter! Exactly what size Donzi or Sonic are we talking about here?

I didn't want to offend anyone with the "entry level" blah blah blah.

No offense was meant to anyone, but the bottom line is "it is what it is".

There is a reason why some cars are $20k, $50k, $80k or $120k. You get what you pay for.

The $20k car is great if someone is looking for VALUE.
The $50K-$80k car is great for someone who wants superior workmanship.
The $120k car is for someone who wants THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Am I wrong?

Let me take it one step further:

New Baja 36 Outlaw = $175k
New Cigarette 38 Top Gun = $330k
New 37 Outerlimits = $425k

Different prices just because of the name? Not quite.

Again - you get what you pay for. And there is nothing wrong with owning a Baja, Powerquest, Sunsation etc. They are great boats that provide alot of VALUE for the $$$$$.

Wood sure is getting expensive these days! :D
I agree, all great boats....

Queit Storm, The 38ZR was designed years before the Gladiator they have been working and refineing the 38ZR since 1999. And what a great riding boat it is!

Frank, you and Melissa and the kids need to plan a weekend here in VA this summer at our place!
(Tell your son's we do have a shotgun!)
The teenage boyfriend thing is killing me... :rolleyes:

Bring the boat too, maybe we will see one of the MD Sonic's on the bay and check it out.....
The HRPA would love to host you guys.

DAVEP has a point, a 38ZX is only about $270K with 525's. Good analogy overall.

(Frank, called, got the machine, lets catch up soon.)

No offense taken Dave. I think you nailed it. I really wanted a 33ZX with HP's, but could not justify the extra $50K! Top Gun.....forgetaboutit!!

I am happy with what I have. That's all that matters.

It's a great thing to be able to do exactly the same thing and at times better, for so much less....:D
